Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
2 medium eggplant, sliced 1cm thick rounds
olive oil
600 grams lamb fillets
1 tablespoon ground cumin
250 grams green beans, blanched

20 black olives, halved
½ cup roasted whole almonds, roughly chopped
basil or mint leaves, to garnish
sea salt and ground pepper
Dressing
2 tablespoons basil pesto

METHOD
